Security permissions necessary to install OneWorld Client

(We have OneWorld Xe Update 6 SP19.1 on Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000)

Our client has an aggressive security policy. They want to give us the minimum security necessary that still allows us to do our job.

We have recently had a problem doing client installations. Our installer user had:
1) Read/Write rights to all the registry
2) Read-only rights to \\DEPLOYMENT\B7333

The install failed, giving us the error:
"Setup failed to configure license. Please check the jdeinst.log for more information."
The jdeinst.log had this message:
"CInstaller::ConfigureSecurity(): Licensing configuration failed."

What minimum rights should our install user have to install OneWorld Xe Clients? If the answer can include a reason why (especially reasons for having read-write to B7333 if that is necessary), it would be very helpful.

I will have to explain this to our client's security officer to be able to get these changes made, and he will not listen to an answer like "this is unreasonable-- the reason is that the installation won't work!". I have to give him an authoritative answer for why I need these permissions.

Thanks in advance.

Tim,
the very least permission during installation you need is to write the
two b7333\client\jdeclnt.* files.
The installation process (setup.exe) writes the WS's name to these files
decreasing the number of free licenses. That's how licensing works for
OneWorld.
Your failed install is probably not all lost. Grant the above
permissions, enter OW from the WS and hit the Obtain button on the
security screen.

Thanks, Gerd

Hi Gerd,
Thanks, that looks like what I need. For the proposal to the security officer, I'll say that to do client workstation installations of OneWorld Xe I need:

1) Read permission for \\ENTSVR\b7333
2) Read-write permission for \\ENTSVR\b7333\client\
3) Full control of HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\JDEdwards in the registry.

Does that look complete?

Thanks again.

Tim,

JDE documents the required security settings in the Installation Guide. - Check there for a complete listing.
